Amap's Tutu patrols Alibaba campus and logs evidence

Amap's four-legged robot, Tutu, is now conducting security checks at Alibaba's Hangzhou Xixi campus. Its ABot setup determines inspection routes, records images of checkpoints, and transfers the collected evidence into internal work orders.

Amap's Tutu patrols Alibaba campus and logs evidence

Key points

  • Tutu is already in use for security inspections at Alibaba's Xixi campus.
  • The ABot stack combines route planning, checkpoint imaging, and structured evidence capture.
  • Inspection results are passed directly into campus work orders, connecting robotic patrols with operational processes.

Context

The deployment demonstrates how robotic inspection can be integrated into enterprise workflow orchestration. For organizations operating field-service or inspection applications, the challenge is connecting sensor data, exceptions, and supporting images with established work-order systems.

What this means for you

Directly applicable

Developers can model route planning, image capture and work-order handoffs, while technical decision-makers can assess where robotic inspection data fits existing operational systems.

Who benefits: Developers and technical decision makers working on field-service automation can use the deployment as a concrete pattern for linking robotic inspection outputs to operational workflows.

The site can analyze existing work-order and field-service estates and advise on interfaces, data flows and integration patterns for robotic inspection data.
